Etymology: Gymnelus: Gymnelus, derived from Greek, gymnēlos (Latinized Greek) = poor, needy (akin to Greek gymnos for destitute (E. Spencer, pers.comm. 09/13).; viridis: Name from Latin 'viridis' for green' in Latin, name given by O. Fabricius due to the colour of fishes, which live in a zone of macroalgae (Ref. 123905).
